Green Coffee Wholesale, Sized for a Micro-Roastery
Not a Shipping Container
Direct Trade lots from a small family farm in Norte de Santander, Colombia. No importer’s warehouse in between.
No 60kg-bag minimum you don’t need.
5kg | 10kg | 20kg — buy the fraction your roastery can actually turn over
Shipped direct from Colombia — not resold out of a US warehouse
Real lot data before you buy — process, moisture, grade, and cupping score, not a marketing description
Most “Direct Trade” Green Coffee Isn’t Actually Built for Your Scale
Here’s what usually happens when a roaster our size looks for direct trade green coffee: the farm relationship is real, the story is real — and then you find out “direct” means buying the entire lot. A 60 or 70kg bag, whether you need it or not. That works for an importer. It doesn’t work for a roastery buying 5-8kg a week for a handful of café accounts.
We built Tostar Café around the opposite assumption. The relationship with the farm is still direct — no broker, no warehouse layover, no blending with coffee from other producers. What’s different is that you can buy the fraction of the lot that fits your actual volume, from a 5kg starter order up to 20kg once you know what you’re reordering.
Same lot. Same farm. Just sized for what you’ll actually roast before it goes stale.
The Price Reflects the Cup, Not Just the Bag
We don’t invent our pricing. It’s anchored to two real numbers: the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros’ daily reference price — the actual commodity floor in Colombia that day — and, once a lot has a real cupping score, where that score lands in the market. Industry-wide, coffee scoring 86-87.9 sells for a tracked median around $4.20/lb — about 83% more than coffee scoring 82-83.9 at $2.30/lb. That’s not our number. It’s the Specialty Coffee Association’s own transaction data.
If a lot from us costs more than commodity, it’s because the cup backs it up — not because “direct trade” is printed on the label.
Available Lots — Wholesale Sizes
Every lot below ships from the same Direct Trade relationship in Norte de Santander — typically Castillo, Colombia, Cenicafé 1, or Tabi, the varieties this region actually grows. Formats here start at 5kg. If you want to try a smaller sample first, the home roasting sizes are here →
